New cycloalkylpyrazoles as potential cyclooxygenase inhibitors.

In this study some cycloalkyl-3-(N-substituted carbamoyl)-1-phenylpyrazoles have been synthesized in order to screen their capability to inhibit human cyclooxygenase. The synthetic pathway is based on the well known property of nitrilimines to undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. The structures of all the synthesized compounds have been elucidated by means of both analytical and spectroscopic methods.
